Question

If the force of the explosion was focused onto a smaller _____ of the window, then the pressure of the explosion on the window would be even greater.

length
area
volume
density

Answer 1

the answer is area
This is because pressure is the amount of pressure applied to the surface of an object per unit of area

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure exerted on an object is defined as the ratio of force applied to the surface area.

Mathematically,

`p=(F)/(a)`

Where, p = pressure

F = force applied

a = surface area

From the above relation, pressure is inversely related to area. As, the pressure increases, the area will be small and vice-versa.

So, when force of the explosion was focused on a smaller area, then the the pressure of the explosion on the window was greater.

Hence, the correct answer is Area.
